Huh?  2.16.1 will not have any functional additions.  The release or
non-release of 2.16.1 is an absolute non-issue here.

What is an issue is that nobody offers 2.16 yet.

I can't vouch for Fedora since they have made it TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE to
figure out what versions of software they use.  Going on their web page,
you get just bounced from one buzzphrase page to another, and I was not
going to download a whole distribution iso just to check what versions
they might be offering.

2.16.  Ok.

Slackware does not appear to offer LilyPond at all.
